They have also said that while they appreciate the blessings of the monetary kind they are receiving, they would also like to ask that we say a prayer for those living and dead, and to praise God.
I think that they have shown a great deal of grace and style.
A true class act by these people. I pray that if I am ever presented with such trauma and sadness that I can behave as well.
